Bringing A Wrongful Death Cause of Action

What is a Wrongful Death Cause of Action?

A wrongful death action is a civil suit (not a criminal suit) brought in a civil court, not a criminal court, and is usually brought by a close relative of the deceased, typically a spouse or children of the deceased. 

When Might a Wrongful Death Action Arise?

Some of the accidents in which a wrongful death action may arise include:

• Accidental Deaths in Burbank;
• Automobile Accident occuring on the I-5 Highway;
• Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Substances or Materials;
• Physician's Carelessness;
• Airplane Accidents in Burbank;
• Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Conditions; and
• Deaths occurring while under the supervision of a paid individual.

Proving a Wrongful Death Cause of Action

If you are thinking about filing a wrongful death action, please keep in mind that all of the following must be proved:

• The death of your loved one victim occurring in Burbank, Pasadena, or Glendale was caused in whole, or in part, as a result of the misconduct by the defendant;
• The defendant negligently caused the wrongful death in Burbank, Pasadena, or Glendale, and is therefore liable within these cities;
• The deceased victim is survived by a dependents, a spouse, or children; and
• Monetary damage is owed as a result of the deceased victim's death. 

Has a Loved One Been Wrongfully Killed?

If a loved one was killed in an unintentional manner in Burbank, Glendale or Pasadena, you should consider hiring a Wrongful Death Attorney and bringing a Wrongful Death Action Claim against the person or people who negligently or recklessly killed your loved one.  While no amount of monetary compensation will return your loved one to you, compensation can assist in covering for any outstanding medical expenses, funeral costs, as well as income if the deceased was the primary income generator for the family.
